About Cudrania tricuspidata ‘Chorter’
The Chinese Strawberry Tree Cudrania tricuspidata ‘Chorter’ is a unique fruit tree with a compact growth habit and an elegant appearance. The ‘Chorter’ variety is a specific selection that remains somewhat more compact, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a container plant. In the spring, the tree blooms with small greenish-yellow flowers, followed by striking red-orange fruits. Thanks to its decorative foliage, distinctive fruits, and low-maintenance nature, the ‘Chorter’ is a valuable addition to any edible garden. It is not self-pollinating, so a male variety such as Cudrania tricuspidata ‘Male Hu’ is needed for good fruit set. It grows best in a sunny, warm, and sheltered location in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
Fruit Quality
The striking, round red-orange fruits have a bumpy surface and a soft, juicy texture. The flavor is sweet and aromatic and is often compared to a combination of strawberry, watermelon, and fig.
